New to this and need a mud motor and boat in the new location im hunting. its going to be in timber few stumps and shallow water. looking to haul round 3 people. I need some suggestions guys.

You run any open water?


Folks prefer a skiff for timber hunting, but they can be dangerous for crossing open/rough water. You wanna stay at 18' length for 3 guys, you'll need the room. 48" wide bottom is a good width for timber hunting, but I'd go 54" bottom if it isn't too tight where you're gonna be.

As far as a motor, take your pick. Longtail or Surface drive, reverse, no reverse, no neutral, depends on what you want and what you want to spend.


You'll want a 35hp motor for a boat that size though.

I suggest you call Deep South Custom Boats for your new boat!

Is there anywhere you will wanna plane out?

A 16' and a 23LT might be all he needs

if you want e real boat youll call pearce's fab

couldnt help myself but you really should consider

lol

It's getting rough in here with all the boat building competition. It's almost humorous to see who's gonna beat who to the newbies.

no open water just shallow timber would like some speed but looking for the cheapest rout out.
